Ecology

Drakon is one of the elder species, claiming a wide territory and shaping the ecology around it for centuries. It is most often found in coastal regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Drakon is intelligent, vain, long-memoried; it remembers slights for centuries and rewards loyalty in kind. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.

Origin

Drakon is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Dragons in D&D canon trace to Bahamut and Tiamat, with each lineage having its own founding myth. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
